CES 2008: Casio Introduces 5 New Digicams

Casio announced plans to introduce an entirely new lineup of Exilim digicams just in time for Spring this year.

One of the 5 new models is a high speed digital camera featuring an improvement in burst shooting speed that is expected to create entirely new markets. The other four models, while offering significant enhancements in function and performance, focus on style with a new body shape that keeps height to a minimum and aims to exude a sense of premium design quality.

Exilim Pro EX-F1, with the world's fastest burst shooting performance incorporates a high speed CMOS sensor and a high speed LSI processor. With this model, Casio has achieved an ultra-high speed 60 frames per second (fps) burst rate for still images, together with 1,200 fps high speed movie recording that captures movement faster than the eye can see for ultra-slow motion replay. Moreover, the new model can record movies at full High-Definition. Price is estimated at $1000 USD.

Exilim Card EX-S10 - the world's smallest and thinnest 10.1 megapixel model features a high contrast ratio and a wide field of view. Both the picture taking and image viewing capabilities of this camera have been improved, and its design presence has been enhanced by keeping it as slim as possible. Price is estimated at $250 USD.
